        Thank you all for your kind words.  The messages of love and support mean so much.  We will have a joint cremation ceremony for Mum (Brenda) and Mark on 30th December.

        It's a horrid time for the entire world right now, I hope you all enjoy some cheer and enjoyment over the Christmas holidays, despite all the restrictions and anxiety.  I send love and heartfelt wishes for your health and happiness in 2021.  Stay safe and well, dear friends.

                  Beautiful, thank you @twin - I do love this time of year, and the garden is very colourful at the moment with daffodils, narcissi, tulips, hyacinths, magnolias and flowering cherries.  We've also been lucky with some lovely sunny weather, although it's still chilly.  But it's nice sitting out there, I have a new rocking chair that @Giles gave me on our anniversary last December which is my new favourite "sitting and thinking" place.

                            Thanks for the wonderful photos @goosehd - absolutely gorgeous spring blossoms.  I recognise them all apart from the pale blue and white star-shaped flowers, they are stunning - what are they?

                            It's interesting that most of our spring flowers are over now, so whilst the same flowers thrive in your part of the world they are flowering a few weeks later.

                            Now our wisterias are flowering and our first tree peony.  The wisteria at the front of the house is glorious, these photos were taken a couple of days ago.  When the sun is on it, the scent is lovely.

                              @Madame Buttonfly The flower is called Glory of the Snow.  Your wisteria are beautiful as is the rest of your garden pictures.  The cherry tree (pink flowered) was outstanding this year.  Thank you for showing us your thinking spot.

                                I'm always fascinated by how wisteria looks so pleasant under the right circumstances. When I was a kid, my mother spent countless hours battling to keep it from killing all the plants and trees.  It's almost impossible to eliminate and it grows fast (at least in the American southeast).  Ours didn't have pretty flowers or smell nice, either.

                                  @Chris  Wisteria can go wild when it gets into the woods. Grows all over the trees. You see in in parks were there was a house at one time.

                                      @twin Beautiful dogwood!  I was talking to the wife yesterday about adding a dogwood to the yard.  This may help.

                                        @goosehd  The Dog Wood is nice all year around. Spring flowers- Summer leaves- Fall colors with red berries. Tree stays small.

                                          I've always liked dogwoods, especially the pink flowered ones.  Like Twin says, they stay small, which is nice for planning purposes. When I was a kid, we had one in the yard that I used to love to climb.  Random fact- dogwoods are the state flower of North Carolina.
